I am sorry with my phrasing – it added an entry to the database like it normally does when I hit update but this time not in the same style that the theme needs.

Before code change: preview_media_url a:2:{s:18:"preview_media_type";a:1:{i:0;s:3:"mp3";}s:17:"preview_media_url";a:1:{i:0;s:97:"https://audioboom.com/boos/4481292-13-take-a-lovely-journey-to-westeros.mp3?source=rss&stitched=1";}}

After code change: preview_media_url https://audioboom.com/boos/4450141-12-all-aboard-the-e3-hypetrain.mp3?source=rss&stitched=1

Nope just one remote file url – essentially that field is used by the themes music player to play an mp3 (podcast) from that field

I see so when I detach that from the group it will then correctly add the field like the screenshots I sent.

I will have to figure out how to do that since I never touched Piklist until this project and this is another devs theme. Is it as easy as grabbing that field info and putting it after said group?

Music.php file for reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6gTiZfhhWDDRlBPbTJmc25LZzQ/view?usp=sharing

I have tried a few things in FeedWordpress to send some line break to the PikList field and the database doesn’t render these as new lines, just renders it as code.

Is there a way to make the output of Piklist append a couple return lines then my audio/mpeg text in to the database?

Well now I feel embarrassed and happy all at once haha!

It changed from:

https://audioboom.com/boos/4481292-13-take-a-lovely-journey-to-westeros.mp3?source=rss&stitched=1

to

https://audioboom.com/boos/4481292-13-take-a-lovely-journey-to-westeros.mp3?source=rss&stitched=1

audio/mpeg

-So what it looks like it’s doing is adding audio/mpeg below that line with a space. I am going to try to replicate that using feedwordpress and send that to the field and see if that works. You might of just helped me over my roadblock.

preview_media_url is what I use right now and the RSS Syndication plugin throws the url in there perfectly, just seems like it doesn’t stick until I hit update on the post.

<script>
    var api = 'https://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=',
        clientid = '&client_id=<?php echo get_theme_mod( "soundcloud-clientid")?>';
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
      var el = jQuery('._post_meta_soundcloud_trackurl');
      el.parent().append('<a class="button get_sc_id" style="margin-top:25px">Get</a>');

      jQuery(document).on('click', '.get_sc_id', function(){
        var url = el.val(),
            _url = api+url+clientid,
            that = jQuery(this);
        if(that.hasClass('disabled')) return;
        that.addClass('disabled');
        if(url == '') return;
        jQuery.ajax({
          url: _url,
          method: "GET"
        }).done(function( obj ) {
          jQuery('._post_meta_soundcloud_trackid').val(obj.id);
          that.removeClass('disabled');
        }).fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus ) {
          that.removeClass('disabled');
          alert( "Request failed: " + textStatus );
        });
      })
    });
  </script>
